Your community needs you -Help kids affected by bush fires get back to school!
Jan 2020
Gymea North Public has created the following post for donations to help kids affected by bush fire get back to school. If you are able to visit the school (Ruby Road, Gymea) on January the 11th between 10am – 1pm they will be holding a sausage sizzle and donation drive.
“As our community searches for ways to help those in need who are impacted by the devastating affects of the bushfire crisis, we turn our mind to all those families who will be heading back to school in a few short weeks. ” – Gymea North Public School
Gymea North Public School is reaching out for donations to assist students to get back to school – hopefully easing the load for parents and families, and most importantly, helping to provide a sense of normality for the kids and teachers.
We’re creating back to school packs for children affected throughout the Snowy Valley Council Area including Tumut Public School, Batlow Technology School, Adelong Public School, Tumbarumba Public School, Talbingo Public School, Rosewood Public School and Humula Public School. We will also extend to schools in the South Coast area.
Our goal is for each student to receive a kit that includes:
– school back pack
– lunch box
– drink bottle
– pencil case
– lead pencils
– coloured pencils
– textas
– eraser
– glue sticks
– pencil sharpener
– 30cm ruler
– tissues
– hand sanitser
– whiteboard markers
– sports ball (handball, soccer balls, football, netball, basketball)
– reading book (various ages – learn to read or novels)
– exercise book / note book
– most important – handwritten notes /drawings from students to students
We are accepting donations of complete kits or individual items – all donations will be helpful. All items must be new.
Bring a hungry tummy and $3.50 for a sausage sandwich so funds can be used to restock their school canteens and other teaching resources.
Already, these schools are so grateful to receive our support.

5 stars to this beautiful Kindy!My son started when he was 8months, we have never looked back. The carers are such amazing, kind, caring and very patient with my little pocket rocket and he just loves going there each day. I would most definitely recommend Loftus kKndy to parents who are searching for a nurturing and growing environment for their little one.Thank you Song and her team of brilliant lovely ladies! See you in 2019!

What we love about Loftus Kindergarten…
Wonderful educators who care about the children – really getting to know them as individuals as well as taking the time to discuss any issues or milestones with parents each day.
Activities are varied and interesting. Children are encouraged to imagine and explore their environment and preschoolers develop literacy and numeracy through a range of play-based experiences. The centre teaches and practices environmental sustainability – encouraging children to take practical steps to care for the environment. I fell in love with the family atmosphere on my very first visit and have never looked back, with my boys so happy and well-looked after here

Loftus Kindy is an extension of our family. All the educators are well skilled, welcoming, kind and put our children first. My children adore the centre and are always excited to go to Kindy. I know my 3 year old daughter is ahead in her social skills, language and comprehension because of the talented educators. I can’t recommend it enough

As an early childhood teacher myself, I knew I was going to be picky as to where my daughter would go to Kindy. I looked after Song’s (the director) daughter several years back, and when I heard Song had bought a child care centre, I had to go check it out. And I wasn’t disappointed. Song goes above and beyond to ensure her centre is well staffed, well resourced, and that children and families feel as though Loftus Kindy is a second home. My daughter finished today (off to big school next year), and after three years, it has been just that – a second home to us. I have watched my daughter blossom and grow, build friendships and confidence, and come home with many stories to tell, as she learns fun and exciting things each and every day. The online communication and photos through Storypark has also been a wonderful way to see what my daughter has been doing throughout the day. Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Will miss Loftus Kindy immensely!

Loftus Kindergarten offers the practicality of a long-day childcare centre with the benefit of a preschool program that rivals the standalone preschools. Song and the educators take great effort to ensure the children are well looked after while fostering their independence and learning. Some of the things I value most in how Loftus Kindy operates are that the staff are always respectful and positive with the children and offer play-based learning opportunities that teach the children about their role in the community.
